Amiga,Inc dont own the rights, they have a lifetime agreement to use them.

If Amiga,Inc were to go into Chapter 11, I would speculate that maybe Acer would be free to re-assign the Amiga rights to another licencee.


That refers to the IP... patents etc... I do believe that Amiga Inc. own the trademarks... in which case, they would be sold like any other asset...

Interesting. I wonder what Acer want with the Amiga IP?!

They picked them up when they bought Gateway... given that most of the patents have either expired or will expire soon... I imagine they have no interest what so ever :-)

Lest ye not forget that with projects like Minimig/CloneA/AROS the IP is totally valueless.
